Uniqlo so unique

It has been a while since i last blogged.. This is how i always start my entry with and i did it again...

Today i went to Fahrenheit88, another new shopping centre in town.. The previous KL plaza was given a facelift to become the current Fahrenheit88.. To start with, the opening of Uniqlo today was the main thing that has actually brought us there.. Uniqlo was not that unique afterall.. It's just like another Giordano, Cotton On or perhaps topshop.. Somehow, the marketing team did a great job in publicity and managed to drag so many people there including aunties and uncles..

So, I reached there at around 10.50am, 10 minutes before the opening.. When i looked at the entrance of Uniqlo from pavillion, indeed i saw a lot of people, but still, it was acceptable to me..


But as we walked through the main entrance of Fahrenheit88, something wasn't right... The queue outside was actually only a small part of the whole crowd.. And the line stretched to the inside of the building.. Believe me, the crowd almost took up the whole ground floor...


I wasn't actually that into Uniqlo.. Been to one of the franchise in Singapore and it was so so only.. But i do like some of the clothings in Uniqlo.. Almost left with andrew for lunch after looking at the crowd but in the end we joined in the hype.. Had a nice 4-5 hours of queue with bunch of friends before finally entering the shop..

Well, we've got quite a good bargain.. I managed to buy some clothings for myself and xinni..

And there were two things that i salute Uniqlo..

First, i would like to have their marketing team if i own a company next time.. They have really suceeded today..

Second, they managed to poison Malaysians' mindset into thinking that they are living in a four seasons country. Yes, a lot of them bought jackets of one inch thick and shirts that actually generate heat in Malaysia.. Good buy....
